Does anyone know WHICH Eminence speaker Fender is using in their new cabs? Or is Eminence labeling one privately just for Fender?

All the drivers are custom designs by Eminence for this specific application with Fender's design team engineers working together with Eminence's design engineers. The closest approximation available would be the Legend CA158 15" woofer, and the B102 10" woofer.

The 12" woofers don't really have a corresponding commercially available driver unless they are a variation on the their Alpha or Beta designs. The new 12" woofer for the new 112 cab has a much higher wattage handling capacity & rating than what is in the Rumble 100 combo.

Okay...thanks! Do you recall which speaker you you used in your Rumble 75 after you lined it?
Absolutely! Eminence Basslite S2012 Neo

I don't know how Fender works as a manufacturer, but they may account for their own direct sales as if they were orders from retailers. For example, lets say that Fender cuts a purchase order to their vendor (the factory in Indonesia that makes them) for 1000 units. That 1000 units would be based on orders received from dealers and from their own direct sales. When that 1000 unit order arrives, then the orders are fulfilled based on first in, first out. Their direct sales would be just another retailer that placed an order from them. Fender would be shooting themselves in the foot if they pulled a percentage of incoming stock for their own direct sales without accounting for it. Also, their direct sales is a fairly new thing for Fender. They have sold through authorized dealers for decades, so that's where most may go for their Fender needs.
I will say this: if Fender has stock on hand to sell through their site, then most likely there's product working it's way to retailers right now. The e-mail I got from Zzounds stated a possible ship date of 2/5 for my Rumble 500 combo, so that date might be pretty solid. Not going to get too excited until I get a ship notice, however.
Yeah, Musician's Friend, Sweetwater and the Fender website are showing $549.99, Zzounds and American Musical Supply show $499.99 still. No doubt they will follow suit shortly, perhaps after they place another order with Fender.
As a side note, here is an article about Fender selling direct. Dealers aren't real happy about it...

The thought of having either of these new V3 cabs stacked under a micro head has my GAS running "full-tilt boogie!" 
Both of these setups would work wonders for my aching back, but I am really hoping they hit hard and low in the air displacement department.

I received notification from Fender that their 210 cabinets are now in stock and available for order. (Mind you I'm not rendering an opinion on where to buy, just an FYI that they are available at Fender).

Does anyone have a picture of the V3 Rumble 200 combo without the grill on?
I am curious to see the placement of the drivers and ports on the baffle board in comparison to the other models.
Thanks in advance.

I'm looking into a Rumble for my studio, something that will pair nicely with my '65 AV P-Bass RI. I want to record direct as well as mic'ing the cabinet. I keep coming to the 500 combo, but am wondering if the 200 would be okay. The 100 would probably be just fine for my purposes, except that the horn can't be switched off. This amp will most likely never see any gigging, but I do want to have something with more power and ooomph then the little Roland Cube amp that I use right now. Does the 200 mic up well?
(Note - I sold my Eden rig a few years because I thought it was overkill. Wrong.)

It also doesn't have one that can be switched on as it just doesn't have one at all. Another good option would be the Rumble 200 head on top of the brand new Rumble 112 cabinet.

I am guessing that the new 210 cab will sound and handle better than the 500 combo due to the new drivers and build?
Was the person behind those sneak peek pictures on Page 170 able to get a test drive?
No, they are exactly the same drivers in the exact same configuration, and as such are the perfect extension cabinet for the Rumble 500 combo. Sadly no, I haven't heard any more than you have in that ultra short clip from NAMM.
Thanks for the clarification.
I assumed that the move to assembly in China by Eminence, the additional weight and slightly higher than expected cost (vs the existing V3 offerings) meant an update/improvement of some type.
I also believe the 210's would be better priced at $299, but am optimistic that a future "coupon code" promotion could potentially help in that regard.
